Where to Sell Seiko Watch | High Price Purchase | JEWEL CAFE

Seiko has its roots in the "Hattori Watch Shop," a watch import store opened by Kintaro Hattori in 1881. At that time, the main business was the sale and repair of used watches, but the desire to make better products in-house led to the establishment of a watch manufacturing factory, Seikosha. This is where Seiko's watchmaking history began. The name also comes from Seikosha. Seikosha was named Seiko in katakana, meaning a factory that succeeds in producing elaborate and precise timepieces. It means a factory that succeeds in producing elaborate and precise watches. It is an appropriate name for Seiko, a company with a high level of technical expertise.

Seiko continues to introduce innovative timepieces to the world. Seiko has many "firsts" to its credit. Firstly, in 1913, Seiko introduced the first wristwatch in Japan, the "Laurei," to the Japanese market for the first time. Starting with this, the automatic watches, "Automatic," chronograph watches, "Crown Chronograph," "World Time," which instantly shows the time in major cities, "Divers' Watches," which were water resistant to 150 meters, and later on, "Divers' Watches," which were even more water resistant, were changed to 300 meter water resistant watches.

Seiko was the first company in Japan to add a chronograph function to automatic watches. Seiko is also famous for being the first company in Japan to television commercials. Seiko also has many world "firsts". It was Seiko that invented the world's first quartz watch. It was a technology that astonished the world. Once the patent rights for the development of quartz were disclosed to the public, watch manufacturers around the world followed Seiko's lead, and quartz watches became popular all over the world.

This was not simply because the Olympics were held in Japan, but because of the company's solid technical capabilities. Until then, the famous Swiss manufacturers Omega and Longines had dominated the Olympic timekeeping market, but with the development of the mechanical stopwatch in 1963, they succeeded in eliminating stopwatches, which had previously introduced mechanical errors at the start of measurement. Seiko was internationally recognized at the Tokyo Olympics and has served as the official timekeeper for subsequent Olympic Games and world championships.
